- the wireless microphone sub-system is used as a part of a mobile video/audio recording system that can be applied within the public safety and transit markets.
- a wireless microphone is used to collect audio input directly from a user when they are not in the vehicle that houses the video recording and wired audio recording sub-systems. In this manner, the user may have freedom of movement inside and outside of the vehicle without losing the ability to record the audio within a certain radius of the vehicle.
- the video/audio recording system is comprised of the following basic components: (1) a mobile in-vehicle digital audio/video/data recorder; (2) a wireless digital audio recorder and transceiver body pack (Body Pack Transceiver or BPT); (3) an in-vehicle transceiver to send and receive signals to/from wireless microphone (In-Vehicle Transceiver or IVT); and (4) a central server management system to view and manage videos after recording.
- a mobile in-vehicle digital audio/video/data recorder (2) a wireless digital audio recorder and transceiver body pack (Body Pack Transceiver or BPT); (3) an in-vehicle transceiver to send and receive signals to/from wireless microphone (In-Vehicle Transceiver or IVT); and (4) a central server management system to view and manage videos after recording.
- the wireless microphone sub-system is comprised of 2 main pieces: (1) a BPT 110 ; and (2) an IVT 150 .
- the BPT 110 comprises a power supply 260 , a microphone 101 , a memory 250 , a microprocessor 230 , status indicators, user-programmable buttons, an infrared transceiver 260 , a radio transceiver 210 , an antenna that transmits the wireless signals 105 , and software.
- the BPT 110 may also comprise an optional external lavaliere microphone.
- the IVT 150 comprises a radio receiver 321 , an infrared transceiver 344 , a microprocessor 350 , status indicators, an antenna to receive and transmit signals 143 , interface connectors to connect to a video/audio digital recording system 325 , and software.
- the mobile digital recording system 210 can support multiple compression algorithms that can be configured on the fly.
- the mobile digital recording system 210 can support either MPEG2 or MPEG4 compression, as well as other industry standard compression algorithms.
- the wireless microphone also needs to support multiple audio compression algorithms, including but not limited to MPEG2 Level II or MPEG4 AAC.
- the configuration of the wireless microphone can be done on the fly at the point of encoding when the microphone is paired with the transceiver and in-vehicle mobile digital recording system 320 .
- the IVT 150 When the BPT 110 is paired with its appropriate IVT 150 , the IVT 150 will send an appropriate signal to the BPT 110 .
- This signal will include information to the BPT 110 which indicates which compression mode is supported by the IVT 150 and in-car system with which the BPT 110 is paired.
- the BPT 110 will be configured to the appropriate compression algorithm and will encode and send the audio stream in the correct format. In this manner, the BPT 110 can support multiple compression algorithms and have the encoding configured on the fly.
- the benefits of using a matching digital audio compression algorithm such as MPEG2 Level II in the BPT 110 include (1) avoiding signal degradation by using a single type of compression (Mic(Analog) ⁇ digitally compressed format ⁇ Digital Storage or Mic(Analog) ⁇ digitally compressed format ⁇ Analog); (2) avoid signal degradation by transcoding audio from one digital format to another, (3) greater control over sound quality; (4) easier access to compressed audio to dump to a buffer; (5) tighter compression ([i] reduce bandwidth needed across the wireless link, [ii] permit back channel uploading of buffered data, [iii]less memory needed for buffering); (6) the ability to pass all audio digitally via a shared wired digital link from the IVT 150 to the mobile digital recording system ([i] reduce or eliminate cabling, [ii] reduce signal loss); (7) offload compression and application from the mobile digital recording system central processor to the microprocessor/microcontroller within the BPT 110 (increases portability to other protocols such as 4.0 GHz band, Zigbee, etc); and
- the wireless microphone is technically “on” at all times. However, power is conserved within the microphone by lowering the transmitter power when the microphone is not “activated”. When the microphone is “activated”, the transmitter power in the body pack of the wireless microphone is automatically raised to the appropriate level required for normal operation. When the microphone is not activated, the transmitter power is lowered so that battery capacity is conserved and the microphone will not transmit an audio signal to the mobile digital recording system but will instead buffer the audio data.
- the wireless microphone can be activated in one of two ways: (1) the BPT 110 user can manually activate the microphone of the BPT 110 by pressing a button to “activate” the microphone, or (2) the BPT 110 can be activated by a signal from the mobile digital recording system whenever the mobile digital recording system is in “record” mode.
- Buffer Record for Out of Range Mode During wireless microphone operation in conjunction with a mobile digital recording system 320 , there are many scenarios where the microphone user may move out of radio range of the transceiver 321 . In such a case, the transceiver will not be able to actively pick up the signal from the wireless microphone and record live audio. In prior art systems, audio would be lost. In the present invention, the wireless microphone treats the out of range operation differently to avoid losing any audio data.
- the audio stream will automatically be saved into a memory buffer 250 within the BPT 110 . Then, when the BPT 110 is no longer in “out of range” mode, the audio stream will be delivered to the mobile digital recording system 210 using the data channel of the wireless radio link and seamlessly recorded with the appropriate video sequence.
- the BPT 110 is suitably enabled to transmit the buffered “out of range” audio stream while simultaneously streaming live audio in real-time.
- the live audio stream is applied to the video stream being recorded by the mobile digital recording system as normally done in real time.
- the buffered audio captured locally by the body pack when out of range, sent simultaneously with the live audio, is re-applied to the “past” video stream using processing within the mobile digital recording system itself.
- Time stamps embedded in both the audio and the video streams are used to correctly synchronize and align the two data streams. Toggle triggers for “out of range” mode and seamless assimilation of buffered audio with video are described in additional provisions below.
- the wireless microphone may also be used to initiate a recording when communication with the in-vehicle mobile digital recording system transceiver is not available due to an out of range condition or otherwise.
- the wireless microphone will buffer the audio data until communications with the in-vehicle transceiver is available. Once a communications link between the wireless microphone and the mobile digital recording system transceiver is re-initiated, a recording session will start with the in-vehicle transceiver, and the buffered audio will be uploaded as described above. However, if the wireless microphone never returns within radio range of the in-vehicle transceiver, the audio recording may still be preserved within the wireless microphone.
- Such an audio recording event is known as an orphan audio session.
- This orphaned audio session will be uploaded to a mobile digital recording system when an in-vehicle transceiver becomes available, even if the mobile digital recording system is a different system from the one with which the wireless microphone was initially paired.
- the orphaned recording can be identified by the date and time on which it was recorded, but also by other user identification information that was entered into the original mobile digital recording system and transferred to the BPT 110 during the original pairing.
- This orphan recording may exist independent of any other recording sessions (either within the memory buffer of the BPT 110 or another memory within a mobile digital recording system or an information management system).
- Toggle Trigger for Out of Range Mode During operation of the wireless microphone, there is a trigger that will manage the recording of audio to the memory buffer and the transfer of that data to the mobile digital recording system. This trigger indicates whether or not the wireless microphone is “out of range”.
- the wireless microphone manages the toggling of this trigger by continually analyzing one or more signal quality parameters, such as the bit error rate (BER) of the wireless signal, as shown in FIG. 1 . Based on the configuration of the system, a minimum threshold will be set for the BER. When this threshold is reached, the system will be toggled to either “in range” or “out of range” mode. In addition to the analysis of the BER, the system will also monitor near-end and far-end receive signal strength indicators (RSSI) and packet resend requests, and will use these parameters in conjunction with BER to determine link quality and trigger threshold(s).
- RSSI near-end and far-end receive signal strength indicators
- a beep or vibration will indicate to the microphone user that he/she is now “out of range” (if the BPT 110 were previously paired when it was “in range”).
- a configurable timer is started. As long as that timer does not expire, the BPT 110 will retain its pairing when it reaches “in range” again and will send the appropriate audio to the in-car system when it is back “in range”. If the timer expires, the BPT 110 will no longer be paired to the mobile digital recording system and the recorded audio will be treated as an orphan recording. Re-pairing is now required before the microphone can be functional once again.
- One mode of operation allows the wireless microphone system to continuously transmit digital audio information in short bursts, and another mode of operation allows for significantly reduced power consumption by transmitting in less frequent long bursts.
- One alternative to sending audio information to the mobile digital recording system transceiver 150 in short burst transmit mode using a wireless link, which tends to drain battery power relatively quickly, is to save several seconds worth of audio data in the memory of the BPT 110 for later transmission. Once enough data is saved, the audio data will be sent in relatively long bursts at high speed (approximately 723 Kbs) to the IVT 150 . This feature further facilitates multiple user access to the IVT 150 .
- a microprocessor real-time clock in the BPT 110 will be synchronized to the in-vehicle clock of a mobile digital recording system.
- Audio Watermark When audio is recorded by a mobile digital recording system, markers are created within the recorded audio stream. These markers are created based on a unique key for the mobile digital recording system. This unique key is used to create randomly generated codes that set the markers in the audio stream. Upon decoding the randomly generated codes and playing of the audio stream, the unique key is used to validate that the audio recorded is matched to the appropriate place within the video/audio stream, and it also validates that the audio matches the key. In this manner, the audio stream is authenticated as being recorded without alteration or manipulation, thereby creating a verifiable evidentiary chain. The user of the unique key that generates the random code markers creates a secure audio stream that can be matched to a “home” mobile digital recording system.
- This authentication scheme is similar to what is used to create watermarking for video signals, but in this system a different methodology us used to ensure the security of the audio stream.
- the novelty here is that the embedded audio water-markings are outside of the frequency range of the normally-used audio spectrum. This allows the audio stream to be watermarked without affecting the quality of the audio stream and thereby allows maximum sound quality.
- Each body pack transceiver (BPT 110 ) and in-vehicle transceiver (IVT 150 ) contains an infrared transceiver capable of sending and receiving pairing data using an optical infrared transceiver link 240 .
- the BPT 110 and IVT 150 infrared transceivers have a limited range of about 1 meter, and about 30 degrees of visible width. This feature is used to address several of the limiting issues that exist when using a radio frequency (RF) wireless over-the-air pairing system.
- RF radio frequency
- a short range two-way infrared data link ( 107 , 127 ) is used to address these issues.
- the pairing process is accomplished via the following steps: (1) the BPT 110 infrared transceiver window is aimed at an IVT 150 infrared transceiver window; (2) the pairing button is pressed on the BPT 110 ; (3) the BPT 110 sends its RF wireless address and pairing information 107 to the IVT 150 ; (4) the IVT 150 confirms receipt of the pairing information from the BPT 110 , and replies to the BPT 110 with the IVT RF wireless address and pairing information; and (5) the BPT 110 and the IVT 150 will then only pair to addresses exchanged over that infrared link.
- the pairing process of the present invention now occurs over infrared rather than via an RF radio link.
- RF-based wireless pairing systems are also susceptible to eavesdropping and intrusion if a third party can intercept the pairing information from the RF radio link during the pairing process.
- a short range, narrow width, infrared-based system of the present invention dramatically reduces the range at which such pairing data can be intercepted.
- the infrared exchange also eliminates having multiple BPT/IVT 110 / 150 pairs linking to other BPT 110 or IVT 150 units if several units are pairing at the same time.
- a short range of about one meter prevents address and system information from leaving the immediate vicinity of a vehicle and unintentionally pairing with another unit.
- This provision contains a number of sub-provisions that are detailed below.
- the general premise behind this provision embodies all the intelligence behind automatically pairing a BPT 110 with an IVT 150 intelligently and wirelessly—no docking or manual configuration is required.
- the intelligent pairing solution provides for multiple simultaneous adjacent pairing activities at times when many users are co-located within a small geographic area, such as a single parking lot, and initiate pairing activities for a number of BPTs within a short span of time.
- Each BPT 110 and IVT 150 will have an approved user list. This approved user list will be downloaded to the IVT 150 when the IVT 150 is linked to the mobile digital recording system. Each BPT/IVT 110 / 150 pair would have to match the approved user list or the pairing will be blocked. Each IVT 150 can have multiple BPTs ( 110 , 130 ) associated therewith, assuming wireless bandwidth is available. One BPT 110 may be designated as “primary”. If multiple BPTs 110 are associated with an IVT, and an event requires bandwidth allocation for other purposes, the mobile digital recording system is suitably enabled to drop non-primary BPTs 110 off-line (out of range mode).

Description
- This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application 60/685,974, filed May 31, 2005.
- A variety of vehicle-installed surveillance systems have been developed that provide the ability to capture, record, and store video and audio information. Audio information is typically captured using a combination of hard-wired microphones mounted within the vehicle's interior cabin and wireless microphones that are carried by public safety personnel that transmit to a wireless receiver mounted within the vehicle. Common problems with prior art wireless microphones include the fact that such devices are typically passive. Such passive microphones must be manually activated to transmit, operate by transmitting in the blind on a given simplex frequency, transmit analog audio signals only, and must be manually tuned to transmit to a given receiver. The operator of such a prior art wireless microphone receives no indication when the wireless link in inoperative, and therefore cannot be assured that the audio information is captured by the vehicle-installed surveillance system.
- Mobile and vehicle-installed recording systems are used by public safety agencies such as law enforcement agencies, among others, to capture video and audio information related to law enforcement activities. Such activities include routine traffic stops, arrests, surveillance, and the like (each, an “event”). Recording such events allows law enforcement agencies to corroborate the recollections, and testimony where applicable, of law enforcement officers. By using a wireless microphone to capture audio information during an event, it becomes possible to compile a more cohesive set of facts related to an event.
- It is recognized in the art that one primary problem with prior art systems is that they do not buffer and store recorded information to ensure that a complete event is recorded. That is, when the microphone transmitter and receiver are physically separated by a distance that exceeds the wireless link radio range, transmitted information is lost. In addition, most prior art systems cannot distinguish between authorized users and unauthorized user, and therefore cannot be relied upon to ensure that the audio stream transmitted to the vehicle-installed receiver was received from the correct microphone/user pair. Such prior art systems transmit a single channel of analog audio signals using a single radio channel. In addition, such prior art microphone systems (microphone, transmitter, and receiver) require a physical connection to configure a pair the devices during initialization. The ability to transmit and receive multiple audio channels in digital form, as well as other information such as telemetry and the like, and to do so in full duplex mode, readily distinguishes the present invention from the prior art. The ability to authenticate microphone/user pairs, pair and configure the microphone/receiver pair over a wireless connection, buffer audio content, send audio and data information, time-stamp the audio and data content, and re-synchronize the buffered information to other information recorded by the vehicle-installed receiver is therefore advantageous.
- The present invention comprises apparatus and techniques associated with the authentication, capture, attribution, transfer, storage, retention, management and deletion of digital audio and telemetry information that has been collected or recorded by a wireless microphone system. The wireless microphone system, when used in conjunction with a mobile digital recording system, is primarily associated with collecting and recording audio information for use in accident investigation, law enforcement, public safety, transit operations, and the like. Utilizing the techniques exemplified by the present invention it is possible to stream digital audio in real-time when the wireless microphone operator is located within radio range of the mobile digital recording system, to capture and buffer audio information when the wireless microphone operator is operating beyond radio range, and to stream and ensure the synchronization of such information when the operator returns to radio range.

- The present invention discloses methods to conserve battery power while remaining in an “always-on” state to ensure that ambient audio is always captured by changing the transmitter power level as appropriate based on the ambient conditions. Alternately, the wireless microphone may be switched into transmit mode manually by the microphone operator, or may be switched into transmit mode by the mobile digital recording system.

Therefore, the features and novelty of the present invention can be applied to any of these radio frequency transceiver subsystems.

FIG. 12 illustrates a perspective quarter view of the BPT of the present invention. - The wireless microphone sub-system is used as a part of a mobile video/audio recording system that can be applied within the public safety and transit markets. As a part of the mobile video/audio recording system, a wireless microphone is used to collect audio input directly from a user when they are not in the vehicle that houses the video recording and wired audio recording sub-systems. In this manner, the user may have freedom of movement inside and outside of the vehicle without losing the ability to record the audio within a certain radius of the vehicle.
- The video/audio recording system is comprised of the following basic components: (1) a mobile in-vehicle digital audio/video/data recorder; (2) a wireless digital audio recorder and transceiver body pack (Body Pack Transceiver or BPT); (3) an in-vehicle transceiver to send and receive signals to/from wireless microphone (In-Vehicle Transceiver or IVT); and (4) a central server management system to view and manage videos after recording.
- The wireless microphone sub-system is comprised of 2 main pieces: (1) a
BPT 110; and (2) anIVT 150. TheBPT 110 comprises apower supply 260, amicrophone 101, amemory 250, amicroprocessor 230, status indicators, user-programmable buttons, aninfrared transceiver 260, aradio transceiver 210, an antenna that transmits the wireless signals 105, and software. TheBPT 110 may also comprise an optional external lavaliere microphone. TheIVT 150 comprises aradio receiver 321, aninfrared transceiver 344, amicroprocessor 350, status indicators, an antenna to receive and transmitsignals 143, interface connectors to connect to a video/audiodigital recording system 325, and software. - Configurable Compression Algorithm: The mobile
digital recording system 210 can support multiple compression algorithms that can be configured on the fly. The mobiledigital recording system 210 can support either MPEG2 or MPEG4 compression, as well as other industry standard compression algorithms. For this reason, the wireless microphone also needs to support multiple audio compression algorithms, including but not limited to MPEG2 Level II or MPEG4 AAC. Instead of fixing the wireless microphone to work with a specific audio algorithm, the configuration of the wireless microphone can be done on the fly at the point of encoding when the microphone is paired with the transceiver and in-vehicle mobiledigital recording system 320. - When the
BPT 110 is paired with itsappropriate IVT 150, theIVT 150 will send an appropriate signal to theBPT 110. This signal will include information to theBPT 110 which indicates which compression mode is supported by theIVT 150 and in-car system with which theBPT 110 is paired. At that point, theBPT 110 will be configured to the appropriate compression algorithm and will encode and send the audio stream in the correct format. In this manner, theBPT 110 can support multiple compression algorithms and have the encoding configured on the fly. The benefits of using a matching digital audio compression algorithm such as MPEG2 Level II in the BPT 110 include (1) avoiding signal degradation by using a single type of compression (Mic(Analog)→digitally compressed format→Digital Storage or Mic(Analog)→digitally compressed format→Analog); (2) avoid signal degradation by transcoding audio from one digital format to another, (3) greater control over sound quality; (4) easier access to compressed audio to dump to a buffer; (5) tighter compression ([i] reduce bandwidth needed across the wireless link, [ii] permit back channel uploading of buffered data, [iii]less memory needed for buffering); (6) the ability to pass all audio digitally via a shared wired digital link from the IVT 150 to the mobile digital recording system ([i] reduce or eliminate cabling, [ii] reduce signal loss); (7) offload compression and application from the mobile digital recording system central processor to the microprocessor/microcontroller within the BPT 110 (increases portability to other protocols such as 4.0 GHz band, Zigbee, etc); and (8) reduce latency from the capture of the audio information to the mobile digital video recording device to improved audio and video synchronization (to avoid lip synchronization in the combined audio/video stream). - Auto Activation: The wireless microphone is technically “on” at all times. However, power is conserved within the microphone by lowering the transmitter power when the microphone is not “activated”. When the microphone is “activated”, the transmitter power in the body pack of the wireless microphone is automatically raised to the appropriate level required for normal operation. When the microphone is not activated, the transmitter power is lowered so that battery capacity is conserved and the microphone will not transmit an audio signal to the mobile digital recording system but will instead buffer the audio data. The wireless microphone can be activated in one of two ways: (1) the
BPT 110 user can manually activate the microphone of theBPT 110 by pressing a button to “activate” the microphone, or (2) theBPT 110 can be activated by a signal from the mobile digital recording system whenever the mobile digital recording system is in “record” mode. - Buffer Record for Out of Range Mode: During wireless microphone operation in conjunction with a mobile
digital recording system 320, there are many scenarios where the microphone user may move out of radio range of thetransceiver 321. In such a case, the transceiver will not be able to actively pick up the signal from the wireless microphone and record live audio. In prior art systems, audio would be lost. In the present invention, the wireless microphone treats the out of range operation differently to avoid losing any audio data. - During operation, if the
BPT 110 goes into “out of range” mode, the audio stream will automatically be saved into amemory buffer 250 within theBPT 110. Then, when theBPT 110 is no longer in “out of range” mode, the audio stream will be delivered to the mobiledigital recording system 210 using the data channel of the wireless radio link and seamlessly recorded with the appropriate video sequence. TheBPT 110 is suitably enabled to transmit the buffered “out of range” audio stream while simultaneously streaming live audio in real-time. The live audio stream is applied to the video stream being recorded by the mobile digital recording system as normally done in real time. The buffered audio captured locally by the body pack when out of range, sent simultaneously with the live audio, is re-applied to the “past” video stream using processing within the mobile digital recording system itself. Time stamps embedded in both the audio and the video streams are used to correctly synchronize and align the two data streams. Toggle triggers for “out of range” mode and seamless assimilation of buffered audio with video are described in additional provisions below. - Initiation of Audio Recording When Out of Range: As shown in
FIG. 2 , The wireless microphone may also be used to initiate a recording when communication with the in-vehicle mobile digital recording system transceiver is not available due to an out of range condition or otherwise. The wireless microphone will buffer the audio data until communications with the in-vehicle transceiver is available. Once a communications link between the wireless microphone and the mobile digital recording system transceiver is re-initiated, a recording session will start with the in-vehicle transceiver, and the buffered audio will be uploaded as described above. However, if the wireless microphone never returns within radio range of the in-vehicle transceiver, the audio recording may still be preserved within the wireless microphone. Such an audio recording event is known as an orphan audio session. This orphaned audio session will be uploaded to a mobile digital recording system when an in-vehicle transceiver becomes available, even if the mobile digital recording system is a different system from the one with which the wireless microphone was initially paired. The orphaned recording can be identified by the date and time on which it was recorded, but also by other user identification information that was entered into the original mobile digital recording system and transferred to theBPT 110 during the original pairing. This orphan recording may exist independent of any other recording sessions (either within the memory buffer of theBPT 110 or another memory within a mobile digital recording system or an information management system). - Toggle Trigger for Out of Range Mode: During operation of the wireless microphone, there is a trigger that will manage the recording of audio to the memory buffer and the transfer of that data to the mobile digital recording system. This trigger indicates whether or not the wireless microphone is “out of range”. The wireless microphone manages the toggling of this trigger by continually analyzing one or more signal quality parameters, such as the bit error rate (BER) of the wireless signal, as shown in
FIG. 1 . Based on the configuration of the system, a minimum threshold will be set for the BER. When this threshold is reached, the system will be toggled to either “in range” or “out of range” mode. In addition to the analysis of the BER, the system will also monitor near-end and far-end receive signal strength indicators (RSSI) and packet resend requests, and will use these parameters in conjunction with BER to determine link quality and trigger threshold(s). - As shown in
FIG. 3 , when theBPT 110 is “out of range”, a beep or vibration will indicate to the microphone user that he/she is now “out of range” (if theBPT 110 were previously paired when it was “in range”). Once aBPT 110 goes “out of range”, a configurable timer is started. As long as that timer does not expire, theBPT 110 will retain its pairing when it reaches “in range” again and will send the appropriate audio to the in-car system when it is back “in range”. If the timer expires, theBPT 110 will no longer be paired to the mobile digital recording system and the recorded audio will be treated as an orphan recording. Re-pairing is now required before the microphone can be functional once again. - Microphone Battery Power Conservation: One mode of operation allows the wireless microphone system to continuously transmit digital audio information in short bursts, and another mode of operation allows for significantly reduced power consumption by transmitting in less frequent long bursts. One alternative to sending audio information to the mobile digital
recording system transceiver 150 in short burst transmit mode using a wireless link, which tends to drain battery power relatively quickly, is to save several seconds worth of audio data in the memory of theBPT 110 for later transmission. Once enough data is saved, the audio data will be sent in relatively long bursts at high speed (approximately 723 Kbs) to theIVT 150. This feature further facilitates multiple user access to theIVT 150. To preserve the real time nature of recorded events, a microprocessor real-time clock in theBPT 110 will be synchronized to the in-vehicle clock of a mobile digital recording system. - Audio Watermark: When audio is recorded by a mobile digital recording system, markers are created within the recorded audio stream. These markers are created based on a unique key for the mobile digital recording system. This unique key is used to create randomly generated codes that set the markers in the audio stream. Upon decoding the randomly generated codes and playing of the audio stream, the unique key is used to validate that the audio recorded is matched to the appropriate place within the video/audio stream, and it also validates that the audio matches the key. In this manner, the audio stream is authenticated as being recorded without alteration or manipulation, thereby creating a verifiable evidentiary chain. The user of the unique key that generates the random code markers creates a secure audio stream that can be matched to a “home” mobile digital recording system. This authentication scheme is similar to what is used to create watermarking for video signals, but in this system a different methodology us used to ensure the security of the audio stream. The novelty here is that the embedded audio water-markings are outside of the frequency range of the normally-used audio spectrum. This allows the audio stream to be watermarked without affecting the quality of the audio stream and thereby allows maximum sound quality.
- Infrared Pairing Activation: Each body pack transceiver (BPT 110) and in-vehicle transceiver (IVT 150) contains an infrared transceiver capable of sending and receiving pairing data using an optical
infrared transceiver link 240. TheBPT 110 andIVT 150 infrared transceivers have a limited range of about 1 meter, and about 30 degrees of visible width. This feature is used to address several of the limiting issues that exist when using a radio frequency (RF) wireless over-the-air pairing system. These issues include: (1) initiating the pairing activation by pressing a button on theBPT 110 to locate thenearest IVT 150 unit with which to be paired and initiate pairing activity; (2) the risk of a security breach due to eavesdropping that exists when sending pairing data over an RF link; and (3) interference from multiple simultaneous pairing operations that could be occurring in or near adjacent vehicles. A short range two-way infrared data link (107, 127) is used to address these issues. The pairing process is accomplished via the following steps: (1) theBPT 110 infrared transceiver window is aimed at anIVT 150 infrared transceiver window; (2) the pairing button is pressed on theBPT 110; (3) theBPT 110 sends its RF wireless address andpairing information 107 to theIVT 150; (4) theIVT 150 confirms receipt of the pairing information from theBPT 110, and replies to theBPT 110 with the IVT RF wireless address and pairing information; and (5) theBPT 110 and theIVT 150 will then only pair to addresses exchanged over that infrared link. - There is no need for a pairing button on the
IVT 150 to also be pressed in a normal pairing process since theIVT 150 exchanges pairing information with theBPT 110 in response to the receipt ofinfrared pairing data 107 from theBPT 110. This system removes the need for the user to simultaneously push pairing buttons on theIVT 150 and theBPT 110. The pairing process of the present invention now occurs over infrared rather than via an RF radio link. RF-based wireless pairing systems are also susceptible to eavesdropping and intrusion if a third party can intercept the pairing information from the RF radio link during the pairing process. A short range, narrow width, infrared-based system of the present invention dramatically reduces the range at which such pairing data can be intercepted. A third party seeking to intercept such pairing data would also need to greatly increase the complexity of their system to include RF and optical reception and transmission techniques. The infrared exchange also eliminates having multiple BPT/IVT 110/150 pairs linking toother BPT 110 orIVT 150 units if several units are pairing at the same time. A short range of about one meter prevents address and system information from leaving the immediate vicinity of a vehicle and unintentionally pairing with another unit. - Pairing: This provision contains a number of sub-provisions that are detailed below. The general premise behind this provision embodies all the intelligence behind automatically pairing a
BPT 110 with anIVT 150 intelligently and wirelessly—no docking or manual configuration is required. The intelligent pairing solution provides for multiple simultaneous adjacent pairing activities at times when many users are co-located within a small geographic area, such as a single parking lot, and initiate pairing activities for a number of BPTs within a short span of time. - Each
BPT 110 andIVT 150 will have an approved user list. This approved user list will be downloaded to theIVT 150 when theIVT 150 is linked to the mobile digital recording system. Each BPT/IVT 110/150 pair would have to match the approved user list or the pairing will be blocked. EachIVT 150 can have multiple BPTs (110,130) associated therewith, assuming wireless bandwidth is available. OneBPT 110 may be designated as “primary”. Ifmultiple BPTs 110 are associated with an IVT, and an event requires bandwidth allocation for other purposes, the mobile digital recording system is suitably enabled to dropnon-primary BPTs 110 off-line (out of range mode).
